Response from Scottish Government re my question put to them.

[Southern-Gal]

I might be a British citizen but will a new independent Scotland be part of Britain?
Where does it say clearly that Scotland will still be part of Britain after independence?

You'll still be a British Citizen, there will be no compulsion to become anything else if you don't want to.

I think I'll become a Jedi.

I'm already a Jedi. But if I get in a scrape in Singapore or some other forn part, I want the might of the UK behind me. May the Force be with you.

I want the might of the UK behind me.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
What might? We ain't got any anymore! You're better off being stateless.

If Scotland seperates it will no longer be part of the UK, it will be a seperate independent country; but British Citizens will still be British Citizens. In fact there are British citizens living in independent countries all over the world. Some of them have dual citizenship.

Brother, where is your faith? I would much sooner be a holder of a British passport. Can you imagine the response when unjustly incarcerated in a horrible forn prison and demanding to see the Scottish Ambassador?
